Rahe noted the seven seniors on the team were recognized on Thursday night. They include Roth, Smith, Pelle, Timm, Peña, Nelson and Colglazier.

“I feel privileged to have worked with these girls for the last six years,” said Rahe. “They are not just exceptional athletes but also wonderful young women. They are role models for my own children, and I am so proud of who they are on and off the court.”

She added parents and community members should be proud of not just what they accomplish in wins and losses but also that they are hard working, coachable and persistent athletes.

Looking back on the season, Rahe expressed her gratitude for parents and supporters who have encouraged the team throughout the year.
